Gentleman's Night Canteen

From Lan Meng's point of view, there are two biggest troubles with the status of "traveler". The first is that it may cause trouble to those close to him, and the second is that it creates a barrier between himself and others.

But the girl in front of the problem is not from the same world as him, even if the other party knows his identity, it will not cause trouble to the people around him, so it doesn't matter if he admits it.

Unsurprisingly, when Lan Meng spoke, the other party was taken aback for a moment, then showed a thoughtful expression, and finally sat down on a chair beside him with a tired face.

Seeing the girl who was originally full of excitement become so frustrated, Lan Meng didn't know how to comfort her for a while, but to Lan Meng's surprise, the other party couldn't help muttering to herself after a short period of frustration.

"That's right, according to the translation of the ancient texts in the ruins, Dialga and Palkia respectively control the power of space and time. Since I can travel back in time and return to ancient times, it is not surprising that people from other worlds appear ..."

While talking to himself, the other party couldn't help looking at Lan Meng, but he didn't know if it was Lan Meng's illusion. He always felt that the frustrated little girl in front of him seemed to be looking at him strangely?

If I have to use a metaphor, it's probably like Lan Meng's eyes when he sees new ingredients?

Joyful and aggressive at the same time, as if wanting to peel off Lan Meng and examine it carefully.

But fortunately, the other party quickly returned to normal.

"Sorry, sir, since I came to this era, I have been trying to find a way to go home, so I am a little too excited, please forgive me."

At this time, the other party was not as energetic as when we first met, nor was he as oppressive and aggressive as before. On the contrary, he was more reserved and mature, which was completely different from his appearance.

"No need to apologize, after all, you haven't caused me any trouble, and it's not like I can't understand your thoughts..."

Lan Meng's words undoubtedly made the other party breathe a sigh of relief, and while he was relieved, the other party couldn't help but look around. It wasn't until then that the other party realized that he had broken into a restaurant. After all, Lan Meng's store was seen from the outside. There was no sign at all, and at first she thought it was a place where someone lived in seclusion.

But at the same time, an extremely impolite thought suddenly appeared in her mind.

'Does this place really have guests coming? '

Lanmeng's store, or more accurately, the door of the "Gate of Destiny Food" is connected to countless worlds, but the place where it appears is not fixed, and more often it appears next to people in need, and coincidentally It was the customer in front of me who found the 'Gate of Destiny Food' in the forest outside the town.

Undoubtedly, the other party did not know the biggest secret of this store, but from a certain point of view, the other party was right.

Lan Meng, who didn't know all this, turned to take out the menu and handed it to the guest after realizing that the guest in front of him had calmed down.

"Guest, is there anything you want to eat?"

Lan Meng's words undoubtedly made the other party's eyes shine.

From the other party's point of view, Lan Meng's situation may be more special than his own. After all, he should have traveled through time, while the other party seems to have traveled through space. As a mythologist, the other party has more than once appeared in various precious documents The 'divine beasts' among them are full of interest, and she is also very curious about their abilities.

From her point of view, since she was searching for ancient documents in the ruins to "travel" back then, Lan Meng's situation should be similar to her.

If it was normal, she might have taken Lan Meng to the research institute for various inspections.

But at the moment, she is really not interested, or even if she is, she cannot examine Lan Meng.

In an extremely free and easy manner, she directly put the problem behind her and focused on another matter.

The previous excitement caused by "finding a fellow traveler" has gradually subsided, and the long-suppressed appetite has begun to regain the upper hand.

She didn't forget why she found Lanmeng's shop in the wilderness.

Originally, she and her partners were collecting Pokémon accounts in the wild, but because there were swamps nearby, she accidentally found Lanmeng's shop in order to find a place to have lunch.

As for lunch?

Except for the rice balls brought out from the 'Celebration Village', most of them are fruits picked along the road.

At first glance, these simple foods seem to be a little inconsistent with the beautiful girl in front of me, but the other party doesn't care about it. After all, she is not a flower growing in a greenhouse, and she even looks at it from a certain angle. Said that the dangers she experienced were even far beyond ordinary people.

After all, she is not only a Pokémon trainer, but also a scholar who often goes in and out of the ruins, and she may encounter any situation in the ruins... She was even teleported back to ancient times like this time.

She has long been accustomed to the danger and naturally does not have too high requirements for food. It is enough for her to be able to eat.

But when Lan Meng suddenly mentioned it and stuffed the menu into her hands, she still couldn't help swallowing.

Indeed, she who has been running around in the wild and ruins all year round does not have too many requirements for material things, but when she was hungry and suddenly saw a photo of a barbecue, no one could control her saliva secretion, let alone When she flipped through the menu, she saw something she didn't expect.

"Sundae?!"

Accompanied by the other party's unconscious exclamation, Lan Meng couldn't help showing a puzzled expression.

"My guest, don't you have...a sundae in your world?"

Faced with Lan Meng's slightly puzzled expression, the other party was a little helpless.

"No, of course there is, it's just that the era I'm in now..."

Thinking of this, the other party couldn't help showing a slightly helpless expression.

In this regard, Lan Meng suddenly showed an expression of enlightenment.

Food is something that changes over time. For example, although modern ice cream has only appeared for more than a hundred years, the oldest foods such as popsicles and shaved ice have actually appeared for thousands of years.

In ancient times, some rich and noble families often dug cellars, stored ice in winter, and then took out ice cubes from the cellar in summer, either to cool down, or to make popsicles, shaved ice and other similar foods.

It is not too difficult if the other party wants to eat popsicles, but it may be more difficult if the other party wants to eat ice cream.

"Then, do you want a serving? By the way, what flavor do you want?"

Basically, Lan Meng asked a question out of habit, but I don't know if it was Lan Meng's illusion. After he finished asking, the other party's expression seemed to become serious.

Could it be... is there something wrong with my own question?

Lan Meng couldn't help showing a slightly puzzled expression...

Chapter 12 Take it all! !

Compared with the fact that there was no shortage of ingredients when it first opened, the small shop has already started to look good during the preparations of these few days.

In addition to common ingredients and other cooking-related things, such as menus, business cards and other small items that have nothing to do with cooking but are related to business operations, Lan Meng is also well prepared, and the menu includes several "recipes" that Lan Meng owns. In addition to a 'manager's recommendation/specialty food', there are some more common foods.

The food is both Western and Chinese.

For example, the staple food includes not only bread but also noodles, wontons, fried rice, etc.

This is especially true for side dishes, which include all kinds of stir-fried vegetables that are more common in Chinese food, as well as steak and other foods that are common in Western food.

As for the 'ice cream' locked by that guest, it belongs to the category of after-dinner snacks.

As for the ice cream blue dream, it marked the most common "vanilla" and "chocolate" and several kinds of fruit-flavored ice cream made from fresher seasonal fruits that can be bought from supermarkets.

They are 'watermelon', 'melon', 'pineapple' and 'mango'.

Of course, if the guests have any requirements, they can also order food on the spot. Lan Meng will see if it can be resolved depending on the situation.

From Lan Meng's point of view, this can be regarded as "advance, attack, retreat, and defense", but what surprised Lan Meng was that the blond girl in front of her kept her head bowed in silence after getting the menu.

Those who don't know the serious expression on the other side's face may think that the other party is looking at some important document, but in fact it is just a menu with photos of six sundaes printed on it.

Although Lan Meng himself is not a picky eater, he also has food preferences, so he can understand a person's can't wait and reluctance to face delicious food with a limited stomach.

It's just that with the passage of time, the expression on Lan Meng's face has become a little stiff.

Even if it is difficult to choose, is it too exaggerated?

It took almost 10 minutes to read just one page of ice cream...

If it weren't for the other party's serious and meticulous expression, Lan Meng would even suspect that the other party was here to amuse him, and in the end he had to take the initiative to remind him.

"Guest, you can actually have one of each."

"?!"

I don't know if it's Lan Meng's illusion. I always feel that the other party's eyes start to glow as soon as I finish speaking?

"is it okay?"

"of course can!"

"Then please give me one of them all!!"

"Okay, would you like to order some more?"

"No... ah!! Wait!! I almost forgot everyone!"

While talking, the other party took out several spheres slightly larger than marbles from his waist, and then only watched the other party press lightly in the middle of the spheres, and then threw them out, followed by a burst of dazzling light Several shadows jumped out of the ball.

"Roar!!"

Before the light disappeared completely, a roar came out, and then Lan Meng saw a blue shadow taller than herself appearing in front of her.

With a slightly ferocious appearance, coupled with a big bloody mouth and protruding bone spurs all over his body, an indescribably ferocious aura hit him head-on.

Lan Meng tensed his muscles almost instinctively, but what he didn't expect was that the other party suddenly narrowed his eyes after the other party had just finished calling, and then Lan Meng noticed that the guest had appeared in the slightly-appearing room at some time. On the side of the hideous monster, he was stroking the opponent's back while comforting it.

"Bite Lu Shark and everyone, I'm very sorry, because I was thinking about what to eat next, I forgot that everyone was hungry with me..."

Following the soft comfort of the other party, I don't know if it was Lan Meng's illusion. I always felt that the biting land shark that was still exuding a fierce aura just now seemed to be sighing rather than angry?

Not only that, the several Pokémon staying behind each other at this time also showed a little helpless expression, but fortunately, everyone didn't seem to care too much about it. After all, it was not the first day for their own trainers to choose difficulties. .

But at this moment, something unexpected happened.

Five Pokémon, including the biting land shark just now, formed a circle and were complaining about their own trainer, but one Pokémon rushed towards Blue Dream as if it had discovered some new land.

Lan Meng, who was a little surprised by the sudden appearance of the six Pokémon, suddenly found that there was a white shadow rushing towards him, and almost instinctively dodged sideways, causing the white shadow to fly into the air.

And this also made the other party who originally planned to stop talking, or say apologizing, unconsciously froze on the spot.

It is not clear why her Pokémon would show affection to a stranger, but she at least knows the strength of her Pokémon.

She doesn't own more than six Pokémon, but when she went to explore the ruins, she carried the six most powerful Pokémon.

Among them, the strength of the Pokkisi that just pounced on Blue Dream may be slightly inferior to the other Pokémon in the team in terms of strength, but in terms of speed, it is second only to Lie, who is usually used as a mount by him. Bite the land shark.

And the question also arises here, can human beings really escape the speed of Pokkisi?

I don't know whether it's because of the persistence of being a researcher, or it's just a habitual behavior. The other party actually found out the "illustrated book" that was just put in the bag, and then under Lan Meng's incredible gaze, he took out the "illustrated book" Aimed at Blue Dream.

A crisp electronic sound suddenly came from the restaurant, which was already a little embarrassed because of Pokkisi's sudden attack.

"No Pokémon Detected, No Pokémon Detected"

The weird electronic sound, coupled with the girl holding a picture book and aiming at Blue Dream, and a few Pokémon with doubts on the side, the atmosphere in the store is slightly subtle.

Facing Lan Meng's strange gaze, the other party seemed to realize what he had just done, blushed unconsciously, and coughed twice.

"That... I'm very sorry, this child is not malicious, it seems to like you, the store manager."

Lan Meng, who was suddenly attacked by Pokkisi, was naturally taken aback, but seeing the aggrieved expression of Pokkisi who was hugged by the other party, Lan Meng gradually calmed down.

Judging from the other party's appearance, there should be no malice.

"It's fine, but your...companion seems to be very interested in me, guest. If you don't mind, we can chat later, but please allow me to cook for a few of you now."

While speaking, Lan Meng looked at several Pokémon squatting beside him.

"What are these guys going to eat?"

Facing Lan Meng's inquiry, several Pokémon looked at each other as if they were communicating.

As a mythologist, Sirona drills the ruins when she has nothing to do. At the same time, as a powerful trainer, it is impossible for her Pokémon to be pampered. As long as the food can be supplemented with nutrition, it is enough. In the past, they used to eat whatever they had. , Now they suddenly heard Lan Meng's words, and they didn't even know what to order for a while.

But fortunately Sirona spoke at this time.

"Here's ice cream."

As soon as the other party finished speaking, the eyes of several Pokémon lit up.

Sirona likes to eat ice cream, which also caused several of her Pokémon to eat it, but strictly speaking, it is not a favorite, especially the biting land shark that hates the cold.

But after many days, everyone who followed Sirona through time and returned to ancient times suddenly heard this familiar term, and couldn't help but miss it.

In addition to biting the land shark and saying that he only needs fruit salad, other Pokémon expressed their desire to taste the fruit ice cream after a long absence.

But then Lan Meng couldn't help showing an embarrassed expression.

Because...there are only ordinary fruits in his shop, where did he get the tree fruits?

Seeing Lan Meng with a distressed face, Sirona couldn't help asking, and when she heard Lan Meng say that there were no berries in the store, she smiled, and then put the waist bag she was wearing directly on the table.

Then began the 'magic'.

Under Lan Meng's incredible eyes, she kept taking out various colorful and strange-shaped "tree fruits" from her "pocket", and said that Lan Meng could use them to make ice cream for her own Pokémon. Try the 'Different World Fruit Ice Cream' from Blue Dream.

Naturally, Lan Meng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After all, the other party was the guest he hired after consuming precious 'Fate Shards'. If he couldn't satisfy the other party, it would be a big loss.

But after he breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't help looking at the other party's pocket with envy.

Space equipment... I really want it...
